BAMBA [BLU-RAY] [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1987
• Genre: Drama, Music
• Plot: La Bamba (1987) tells the brief, ultimately tragic, but uplifting story of Ritchie Valens, born Ricardo Valenzuela in Southern California's San Fernando Valley. Valens (engagingly played by Lou Diamond Phillips) would have three hit songs before dying at the shockingly young age of 17 in the infamous plane crash that also killed Buddy Holly and J.P. (The Big Bopper) Richardson; his short life—particularly with family and friends in a vibrant Mexican-American community—and obsessive love of music are the focus here. Directed with great warmth by Luis Valdez (Zoot Suit); Valens' music is performed with crackling energy by the sensational Los Lobos.;
